The 0.1μF 50V Disc Capacitor (also known as 100nF) is the standard decoupling capacitor used across IC power pins. It filters high-frequency noise and stabilizes power supplies for reliable digital circuit operation.
Key features
- 0.1μF (100nF) capacitance
- 50V voltage rating
- Ceramic disc construction
- Non-polarized
- Low ESR for high-frequency filtering
- Compact size
- Very low cost
Good to know
- Place as close as possible to IC power pins
- One 0.1μF per IC is standard practice
- Non-polarized – can be connected either way
- Ceramic caps are better than electrolytic for high frequencies
- Combine with larger electrolytic for broadband filtering
